Four years ago, Altilium’s co-founders envisioned a future where the critical minerals essential for the energy transition would be sourced from recycling existing waste streams, minimising the need for mining and preserving our natural resources.

Specifically, EV batteries present a unique opportunity, as they can be efficiently and endlessly recycled, paving the way for a truly circular economy.

Today, as the company celebrates the last four years, we reflect on our journey with pride and look forward to the next phase of our growth:

Stage 1: Seed Stage – Incubating a Circular Economy Net Zero Champion

We laid the foundations to lead in sustainability, establishing a vision and mission focused on creating domestic, sustainable battery raw materials to support the UK’s net-zero goals and energy security.

Stage 2: Series A – Green Technology and Sustainable Innovation

Following a $12m investment by SQM Lithium Ventures, we developed our EcoCathode™ green processing technologies that will revolutionize battery production and recycling, setting new benchmarks for sustainability in the UK.

Stage 3: Today – Speed and Scale to Dominate the UK Market

Now, we are scaling rapidly, aiming to be the first to market and the largest player in the UK’s battery recycling industry. Our focus is on “full battery circularity”, from end-of-life battery collection and production of black mass through to chemical refining to battery-ready p-CAM and CAM.

Thank you to our growing team of employees and everyone who has supported Altilium over the last four years. Without your hard work and support, we wouldn’t be where we are today.

Here’s to the next four years and beyond!
